The idea of ​​the “real” existence of the “I”

The most important illusion, the source of all problems, detractors and obscurations of existence, is precisely the idea of ​​the “real” existence of the “I” as a self-existent unit. The psychocosmos seems to be a monarchy, in which there is a “reigning” personality and elements “subordinate” to it, because one state is replaced by another, and one subpersonality gives way to the next, some aspirations turn into others, and often the connection between these successive states is very conditional and unsteady, and rests only on the self - that is, the original idea of ​​the division into “I” and “not-I”

The Monad as the source of individuality and the “seed atom” as a permanent basis, the embryo of crystallization in the chain of births, are not carriers of the “I”, and cannot give the individual hope for “eternal life”, thus, although it is impossible to preserve the personality, it is nevertheless possible make it the most appropriate expression of individuality, and the psychocosmos itself - bring it to a state of integrity as much as possible, after all, a person is usually not the “incarnation” of the soul of any one person who existed before him, but is a conglomerate of mental elements created by a large number of people, he realizes impulses generated by different beings, and he himself, in turn, is the source of components of various other systems consciousness, and the impulses generated by it will find their continuation not in one being, but will serve as the causes of a whole series of gravity in a whole series of newly emerged consciousnesses.

When personality becomes a complete and perfect reflection of individuality, and consciousness becomes a perfect instrument of self-knowledge and actualization, Psychocosmos merges with Macrocosmos, and consciousness achieves non-duality and liberation, feeling itself not as a separate unit, but as the whole, in its individual aspect

As long as a being identifies itself with temporary “heaps” of affects, or even with the “super-ego” of the logos of its existence, it is doomed to destruction only when consciousness achieves identification with the Great Spirit itself in one of its infinite number of individual aspects, it is identified with its Monad, and goes beyond both forms and their absence, both being and non-being, and either dissolves in the ocean of nirvana (as the essential aspect of infinity), or enters into the fullness of the Pleroma (the active aspect of Infinity ), which in essence are also united and inseparable
